Wewill peep over Robert Edgerly's shoul-

father that night There was such fullness
Of confidence between them that they were
together more like brothers than like father
and son. Indeed, in some ways the father
was the more boyish of the two. Robert Ed
gerly wrote:
any DEAR PATER-rm at Linwood, the
home of the adorable sisters. They're all
you painted them, and more. dont't Won
der you bow down and worship the elder one.
All the world must, think. The younger
one is q little witch. She is the only Ameri-
can girl ever saw who doesn't bite her lips.
They are very pretty, these women in the
states, but they have habit of biting their
lips and stretching their mouths incessantly
which is not pleasant. Eight women out of
every ten whom you meet in the streets of an
American city will be biting their lips. 1t is
singular. l have a memorandum of it in my
book. The adorable sisters, however, are
very good form. I quite approve of your
taste.
"No more does the little one say real nice
time thanks to the influence and example of
her Incompatible elder sister. l wrote you
that if l could find an American girl who
didn't say real nice time would marry
her. What do you say9"
To which the pater wrote in answer:
"MY DEAR SOM don't believe she would
have you If it was only your father, nowl"
But long before that, Brownie, with her
merry spirits and pretty, dainty, birdlike
ways had the English youth completely ell
tangled in her silken net In short, he was

just rebuke. A lecturer stated that the
aforesaid celebrated man knew how to make
a most excellent cup of coffee. Arespectable
minister wrote to him asking for the recipe.
His request was granted, but at the bottom of
the letter was the following manifestation of
stupendous conceit: II hope that this is

of securing my autograph" to which the

1t is well known that tinbacks and black.
fish feed upon mackerel, and have been o3te
seen scattering them in all directions The
mackerel have been frightened off their ac.
customed feeding grounds, and have, no
doubt, found other waters where they are
less liable to be preyed upon by their enemies.
At all events, the catch last season was much

JOHN GODFREY SAKE.

Death OF the Man Who Was Once Known
as the american Hood"
The poet SAKE, who died on the 31st Of
March at Albany, was scarcely known to the
new generation Of readers; but some thirty
years ago be was hailed as the great coming
satirist, the american Hood, etc. And, in
deed, two or three Of his poems published
about that time gave promise of brilliant
career; in particular his satire called "Pro
gress' and his purely humorous poem with
out a moral, "The Proud Miss Mcbride. were

the time Especially did they please the
young and ardent, and this was looked upon
as favorable sign for his future, as the ap
plause of the young, to certain extent, an
ticipates the judgment Of the next age But
after 1856 there seemed no more growth in
the poet; since then his only work has been
lecturing and the production of an occasional
composition in a different vein, and gener
ally inferior to his earlier pieces.

Jamaica's Laboring Population,

The island of Jamaica is suffering in
consequence of the withdrawal of large
numbers of its laboring population, who
have been tempted to the isthmus by the
offer of high wages, and are digging the
Panama canal. During the years from
January, 1888, to January, 1885, about
$4,000 such laborers left for the isthmus.
1t is estimated that 30, 900 have returned,
and that with those who have gone out
the present year as many as $4,000 are
still absent The immediate effect upon
the condition of Jamaica has been to raise
wages until it is with great difficulty that
the planters carry on their sugar bust
ness, and, at the present price of that
article, many of them are contemplating
suspending operations to avoid loss. The
negro laborers who have returned are re-
ported to have quite generally saved their
earnings, which some of them place in
banks of deposit, while others are buying
land, hopeful indication for the future Of
the race.-Boston Transcript.

rr,ssiss,opi.a s5. 600 maidstone.

A day or two ago Mr.. b. +. Milan, an
old and respected citizen of Waterford,
Miss, called at The Avalanche Office and
exhibited maidstone that has history.
! It was brought to Alabama from China
in 1910 by DR.. William Barker, who
! used it with success for several years. Al
his death it was sold to Jsrvis Milan,
the father of The Avalancao's visitor,
and four others. Milan moved to Mis-
sissippi in 1885, and took the stene with
him, having bought out the interest OF
his partners. He died in 1910 and left
the stone to his son. Tho present pro-
!, prietor has used it in 1880 cases, foi
bites Of rabid dogs, cows and horses, be-
sides spider and snake bites, and he
asserts that it did not fail to effect a cure
in o single instance when applied before
paroxysms had set in.
The stone is porous, of a light cream
color, an inch and a quarter nsdiametei
and weighs one ounce. 1t has been
broken in five places, and is mended with
silver bands. When q person is bitten
the wound is first carefully washed with
warm water, q mop being used to guard
against danger to the operator from in.
fected blood or pus. The stone is Their
bound tightly upon the affected part and
left there from two to fifteen hours, ac-
cording to the freshness of the bite-the
older it is the longer the time necessary,
j When removed it is found to have alb
sorbed quantity of blood or pus from
the wound, 1t is then washed clean II
warm water and dried before fire OF
stove. Mr.. Milam has been offered So, 00C
for his treasure, but refuses 10 sell. He
gets d good revenue from it, charging
those patients who are able to pay, but its
virtues are more frequently called into
play to save the liveso unfortunates who
have nothing to give in return. 1t is tc
| Mr.. Milam's credit that these are never
refused, and that he values the stone
most for the good it does to suffering hu.
manity. He is greatly troubled lest al

description of q Naval Battle.

Those who have read the narrative OF
the battle between the Guerrero and the
Constitution during the war of 1912 re-
member that the American frigate, al
though it received three broadsides from
the British man-of-war, did not fire until
she had come to close quarters. Then
her fire was SO rapid that in few min
utes the British ship struck her colors.
The story of the capture. as spoken by a
Frenchman speaking broken English,
sets forth the main points of the engage
ment:
ssYou see, vas come from Marseilles
with sheepload vine and cognac; / vas go

Dacre he come With Eat Guerrero, and

New Device for Catching Niekels.

A new device for catching nickels is
just out, which as novelty eclipses its
rfqmpetitors in weighing machines, minia-
lttE steamboats, and locomotives seen
o<eassonaHyr in hotel Hobbies and public
places where people congregate. This
machine IS automatic like the others, and
consists of stand of iron three feet high,
supporting square box made of wood,
two sides being panels of glass to admit
light and enable people to see the thing
work. Inside is sort of miniature
metal wheelbarrow, tipped at an angle OF
about forty-five degrees. AT the top of
the box, directly over the wheelbarrow,
is square cut hole about an inch and a
half wide by three inches long, large
enough to enable one to drop five cent
piece through into slot below, which is
between the two handles of the barrow
and about quarter of an inch in width.
If the money is poised carefully over the
hole at the top and dropped so as to fall
into the slot. the owner will see il. roll
into little receptacle on the outside of
the box opposite the end of the barrow,
closely followed by another five cent
piece, which is his prize, besides getting
his first one back. Should it again be
tried and the nickel strike the edges of
the opening, which is about three or four
times its thickness, of course it goes into
the lower part of the inside of the box,
thus adding to the treasury of the owner
of the machine. - New York Evening
